Winners once again....
A fantastic result once again at the 2017 Hutchwilco Boat Show held in Auckland recently. With favourable results for our Extreme Boats taking away 3 out of 3 awards for the 2 entries.
Supreme Winner: Extreme 745 Centre Console Legacy Series
Specialist Fishing Boat Up To 7 Metres: Extreme 645 Centre Console Legacy Series
Specialist Fishing Boat Up To 8 Metres: Extreme 745 Centre Console Legacy Series

A range of new features on Extreme Boats' aluminium fishing boats paid off for the Whakatane business in the weekend when it picked up two awards at the Hutchwilco Boat Show in Auckland.
It won best aluminium fishing boat for its 700 Centre Console in the 6-7 metre boat range, and best aluminium fishing boat for its 570 Centre Console for boats under 6 metres.
The Thornton Road business has now won 14 awards since 2007, when it first entered the competition at the prestiguous boat show - New Zealand's premier boat show.

Kiwi fishing boats continue to make their way into Australia. The 850 Game King from New Zealand's Extreme Boats is just one example.
At this year's Melbourne Boat Show we got to look over an Extreme Boats 850 Game King. Extreme Boats (NZ) is yet another Kiwi aluminium boat manufacturer to make its way over the ditch and this candy red example was the draw card for Victorian dealer Inverloch Marine.

The latest addition to Extreme's range of boats, the 500 Sport Fisher, has now been uploaded to our website along with a review from Boating New Zealand this month. Check out both the boat information and the review here.

Over the last few months, we have had quite a few independent reviews published in various publications throughout New Zealand and Australia. We have now uploaded these to our reviews page and they also show up on the relevant boat page. The three recent boat shows (Auckland, Melbourne and Adelaide) were all very well received and we are humbled by the amazing feedback we have been receiving about our boats. We always welcome feedback and customer photos to add to our website and social media sites.

The May issue of Boating New Zealand features a bit of history about how Extreme came about , the launch of a new entry level boat, the 500 Sport Fisher, and a tour of our factory to give you a bit of insight into how the boats are built. Check the article out here.

With an action packed few weeks leading up to the Hutchwilco Boat Show in Auckland, the team at Extreme can relax now with another award under their belts.
Each year, New Zealand's top boat builders choose to releaes their new models at the show and it's pretty intense.

An Economic Development Award (Horizon Business Excellence Awards) in October 2012 saw Extreme Boats receive a visit from Prime Minister John Key and National MP Anne Tolley last week.
John Key talked fishing, snapper quotas and boat building. Owner, Glenn Shaw took him on a tour of our factory and he was shown various boats at different stages of construction. His visit was well received by all at Extreme.
